^^^ I stared at that for not kidding, 10 minutes. It’s pretty daunting, I mean this is my very first post. Not just on this blog, but anywhere. And it’s not just some post, it’s the start of what I hope will be a successful exchange for music lovers all over this black hole that is the internet. I figured I’d start simple. Get the ball rolling and see what happens.

I’m going to share my personal favorite playlist. There are about 500 songs on there right now (truly idk how that even happened). *Unfortunately, I can only share 200 on the embedded link, so I handpicked a selection of these songs and pasted below.* If I listen to a song for 30 seconds, deem it likable, and something that I want to find again later, it goes into this playlist. It is literally called, “I Like You.” I created it when I was a junior in college, so it starts off kind of rocky in terms of what I was listening to (yes there will be one or two Taylor Swift songs on there- it’s who I am, man and I frickin love her.) But it kind of follows my progression as I started veering away from “Today’s Top Hit’s” on Spotify, or oldie’s that I would play on repeat when I had nothing else (of course I still have those days). Now you’ll find some Bahamas on there, but you’ll also find Lori McKenna. You’ll see Two Door Cinema Club, and you’ll also see The Kinks.

This is the only playlist I’ll share that will even be remotely this long, but this is so personal and so true to who I am, it seems right to just get it all out there. If you are ever looking for something to put on, feel free to browse through and give something a listen. That’s how I found half of these and the list will continue to grow. In the future, I hope to curate some more tailored playlists based on moods, events, days of the week, the type of sandwich I’m eating, etc. It’s all a work in progress, and I’m excited to finally put the figurative pen to paper, and the literal fingers to keyboard to start sharing what I love most.

Hopefully, in time, there will be concert reviews, upcoming shows, bios on artists, and general music recommendations up here. I am going to work hard to make this great and if you’re starting this journey with me now or if you’re looking at this a year from now (I REALLY hope this will be a thing a year from now) then welcome! Let’s talk music.

The only thing there really is left to do is honestly just the damn thing. So,

Here…We… Go.

It says to put something "About Me" here, but this blog isn't really about "me", per say. I love music. Love it like carrying a boom box over your head, refusing to get on a floating door in the Atlantic (because no they both wouldn't have fit), smashing a Demagorgon's head in with a bat of nails kind of love. So I'm here as the agent to deliver music to whoever wants to listen. I hope to share what means the most to me, and have it mean something at all to you. As a current Bostonian, I want to share upcoming concerts with you guys, info about the artist's and their tours, and ways to see them. I'd love to curate playlists for you based on events coming up, or different moods throughout the day with songs that I can't stop playing myself.
So while yes, I that's my "About Me," my goal is to make this page about a few other things. The music. The artists. The emotions we derive from hearing all these notes come together, and you. I'm ALWAYS open ears when it comes to music. Send me your rec's, tell me you love/hate mine! The point is to share, and learn and be an advocate for music- not just a fan.
I'm a newbie at this... be kind, I'm growing. But just know that if you've come across this page because I literally asked you to, or you saw it on another social media account, or you're like me and scour the internet for fresh finds, I hope you'll listen and come back and start a conversation about the one thing that is universally gratifying: Music.
